perform the trick and show them to the audience as being everyday
objects.

the coin and place it in the centre of the paper

2. The next step is to fold the
bottom edge of the paper up to cover the coin.The bottom edge should not
be folded up all the way up to the top edge but should be about 5
millimetres below it.

then folded back behind the coin as shown in the picture.

folded back behind the coin a shown in the picture.

5. The last fold is made by bending
the top flap of the paper behind the coin. This will appear to the
audience member to have completely sealed in the coin . Unknown to them
there is actually an opening at the top of the paper pouch.

6. Turn the paper pouch upside down
in your hand and let the coin gently fall into your palm where you can
conceal it from the audience.

paper pouch in two, where the audience see that the coin
appears to have vanished. Use a little patter to make this trick more
